#eden ineffables

[omens-for-ophelia]

...i felt your lungs inflate and with a warmly sighing breath translate into my mouth a kiss, soon broken up among sweet puffs of laughter and your darting lizard tongue

part 6 of my ineffable kisses series - imagining some kisses throughout their canon timeline that went decidedly better than That Kiss did...

<< start || part 2 || part 3 || part 4 || part 5 || part 6 - Eden || || part 7 || part 8 >>

okay so perhaps this isn't technically a kiss, but if they share a bite of that apple, then is it not just a prelude or a ghost of one? i adore Eden babies, so fresh faced, innocent and curious together...🩷🍃

note: in every work in this series, aziraphale & crowley are queer celestials, regardless of their gender presentation, pronouns or otherwise.

Well, that went down like a lead balloon.

Things got pretty boring in the garden after Adam and Eve left...

GOD: As it happens, Aziraphale had nothing to say about the word "kiss."

i. i just realised something about the kiss.

the way when aziraphale puts both of his hands on crowley's back, you can see them kinda shift so aziraphale isn't leaning. he held onto crowley for stability, and leaned in. pushed closer to him. he leaned forward. anyone ever says he didn't want the kiss im going to hunt you down because HE HELD CLOSE!!! HE KISSED BACK!!!!

EDIT: also im like WELL aware he kissed back i was even when i first watched it like its not a big revelation, its just that SOME people☠️ on TIKTOK☠️ KEEP SAYING HE WAS DISGUSTED BY THE KISS???? like i swear some people are watching a different show entirely

I can't get over the fact how similar angel Crowley is to Eden Crowley. Before we saw angel Crowley, we didn't have the comparison and continuity, but we do now.

Just look at his hairstyle; his Eden hair is longer, as it logically should be because the angel phase was before the fall, but it's still wavy, and the swirl remains the same... 🥺

I love the look on Crowley's face when Aziraphale does something bad without any outside influence. And not morally bad, just... definitely not something angelic

The sheer glee in her eyes, he looks like hes falling all over again every time.

Reddit’s @goodomensafterdark is having an ineffable wives week! Go enjoy fan fics, art, gifs/memes and more all celebrating the 8008 (heh heh boob) followers!

I’m thinking that the conversation on the wall as the humans made their way away from Eden was a major formative moment for Crowley.

When Crowley says “You’re an angel, I don’t think you CAN do the wrong thing,” he is absolutely yanking Aziraphale’s chain. The book explicitly says it’s sarcasm and in the show, David Tennant’s delivery makes that clear with his smirk and sneery tone.

But when Aziraphale innocently takes the comment at face value, Crowley lets him think it was sincere. It’s his first act of kindness toward Aziraphale. My reading is that Crowley is happily surprised that an angel would allow himself to be comforted by his words and it takes away his desire to tease. He got his first little taste of doing good AND HE LIKED IT!

That interaction is perhaps the first time Crowley realized that he’s not necessarily cut out for sowing misery.

Also, consider his shock at Aziraphale’s admission.

Crowley was told to come to Eden and make trouble so he did. He doesn’t seem to have thought about it at all, just got an order and executed it. What if learning that Aziraphale has given his sword away is the thing that makes Crowley realize that he, too, can make his own unexpected decisions.

It was Crowley that gave free will to the humans, but maybe it was Aziraphale that made Crowley realize that he could also have free will. Even though Aziraphale hasn’t embraced his free will, he has perhaps just given Crowley the impetus he needed to do so.

And later, Crowley returned the favor when he explained about going along as much as you can. That was painful for Aziraphale but helped him to be more himself. It was a moment when he realized, like Crowley on the wall, that if doing good means breaking the rules sometimes, then sometimes that’s what must be done. In his guilt and fear, he didn’t put that together in Eden, but Crowley showed him at Uz.

Anyway, I’m rambling, but these two have made each other better, and happier, since the world existed and that’s just lovely.

Answer from this : Yes... He's just busy discovering what heart palpitations feels like 🫢

[shoemakingandobstetrics]

babe, there's something wretched about this, something so precious about this, where to begin? babe, there's something broken about this, but I might be hoping about this, oh what a sin

[hg-aneh]

It was a Crowley thing 🦋

[veil-of-lament]

it’s a good thing snakes make such good bookstands

I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door...

honestly zira had no chance against 40s crowley. Man came in, committed Crimes but for Good (tm) in the sluttiest tailored suit i have ever seen in my gotdam life, then showed love and care in TWO Angel Special Interests (book preservation and silly magic) and saved miss azira damsel kink phale TWICE in one night. Zira wrote about it in his diary with a fluffy pink pen and signed it Mr Anthony Crowley-Fell.
